Alliance Law Firm Expands with New Lateral Partner recruitment from English Counterpart
In a strategic move to expand its presence in the Asia region, GT Law, the Singapore alliance firm of Eversheds Sutherland, has appointed Yuh Huey Khoo as its first lateral partner. Khoo, a renowned legal expert, will lead and expand the firm's Financial Services, Regulatory, and Private sectors [1][3].
Khoo, with an impressive career spanning over two decades, began her journey at Rajah & Tann before moving to Eng & Co in 2022, following her departure from WongPartnership as a partner [2][3]. Her extensive experience has seen her work with a diverse range of clients, including CapitaLand, Changi Airport Group, City Developments, Keppel Corporation, Olam, SATS, and StarHub [4].
GT Law's commitment to serving a wider range of clients in the Asia region, always maintaining a focus on excellence and innovation, is evident in this strategic appointment. Kho's expertise in financial services, regulatory compliance, and private client services is a valuable addition to the firm [1].
The move to Eng & Co is driven by Singapore's growing demand for specialised legal expertise in these areas, particularly in the financial services sector [5]. GT Law's investment in these practice areas is further underscored by the fact that it currently has three other partners managing the firm, all of whom were previously at Eversheds Sutherland [3].
In her new role, Khoo will oversee and grow GT Law's capabilities in its key practice areas. She will advise high-net-worth individuals and families on succession planning, estate structuring, and the establishment of trusts and private trust companies [6]. Additionally, her employment practice involves advising multinational companies on complex cross-border employment issues, immigration matters, and regulatory compliance [7].
With Kho's addition, GT Law has strengthened its position in the financial services sector, positioning itself to better serve its clients in this dynamic and evolving market. The firm's commitment to excellence and innovation, coupled with Kho's extensive experience and expertise, promises a bright future for GT Law in the Asia region.
